Core Currency Index
Draft Terms of Use
Draft version: July 28, 2026 · Proposed effective date: [TO BE APPROVED]
1. Parties and acceptance
These proposed Terms of Use would govern access to the Core Currency Index website, assessments, dashboards, reports, and related services (the “Service”). The Service operator is [LEGAL ENTITY NAME AND FORM], with a principal address at [BUSINESS ADDRESS] (“CCI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Before public launch, counsel should specify how and when a user affirmatively accepts the final terms, including the treatment of organization-sponsored participants and updated terms.
2. Purpose and limits of the Service
CCI is a framework for personal development and understanding human motivation. It is not a clinical, medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, or employment assessment. Results do not diagnose a condition, determine a person’s worth, or guarantee behavior, performance, compatibility, or any particular outcome.
Users and organizations are responsible for how they interpret and apply results. The Service should not be used as the sole basis for hiring, firing, promotion, discipline, medical care, or another high-impact decision about a person.
3. Eligibility and accounts
A user must be at least [MINIMUM PARTICIPANT AGE] and able to enter a binding agreement, or participate with authorization from a parent or legal guardian if counsel approves a minor-use model. Users must provide accurate account information, protect access to their email account and sign-in links, and promptly notify CCI of suspected unauthorized access.
Organization administrators may manage seats, access codes, and operational participation records only within the authority granted by their organization and CCI.
4. Assessment access, codes, and results
An active entitlement is required to begin and submit a new assessment. A unique access code may be redeemed once by the intended recipient and must not be sold, guessed, automated, or transferred without permission. CCI may expire, revoke, replace, or correct codes when needed to address fraud, error, a refund, or support request.
A participant who completes an assessment retains account access to their owned historical result, subject to account security, lawful retention requirements, and the availability provisions below. Repeating an assessment may require a separate entitlement.
5. Organization-sponsored participation
An organization may purchase or receive seats and sponsor a participant’s assessment. Sponsorship does not automatically grant the organization access to the participant’s answers, currency profile, blend, or complete report. Any future sharing of participant results with an organization must use a separate, explicit consent process that explains what will be shared, with whom, for what purpose, and whether consent can be withdrawn.
Counsel should confirm any separate organization agreement, data-processing terms, administrator duties, and rules for organization-level reporting before those features are offered.
6. Intellectual property and permitted use
The CCI framework, currency definitions, Mature Expressions, Currency Exchange movements, counterfeits, flourishing, shadow, depletion, leadership philosophy, Currency Blend Library, Currency Profiles, assessment content, scoring methods, report language, visual design, trademarks, and software are proprietary to CCI or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Subject to the final terms, a participant would receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and download their own result for personal development. No one may reproduce or publish the complete CCI libraries, scrape or systematically extract content, disclose assessment questions, create derivative assessments, reverse engineer scoring, remove ownership notices, or use CCI materials to train an artificial-intelligence system without prior written permission.
7. Acceptable use
Users may not:
- violate law or another person’s rights;
- impersonate another person or access another user’s results;
- probe, disrupt, overload, or bypass Service security;
- automate sign-in, code redemption, or assessment submission;
- introduce malicious code or interfere with Service operation; or
- use a result to discriminate, harass, or make an unsupported high-impact decision about another person.
8. Fees, purchases, gifts, and refunds
Commerce is not currently integrated.
Before checkout launches, counsel must approve pricing disclosures, taxes, renewals (if any), delivery, gifting, expiration, refund eligibility, chargebacks, and payment-processor terms. Proposed refund policy: [REFUND POLICY TO BE APPROVED].
9. Availability, changes, and suspension
CCI may maintain, secure, improve, or discontinue parts of the Service. CCI may suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate misuse, comply with law, or preserve Service integrity. Material changes affecting historical result reproducibility should be versioned and should not silently rewrite a participant’s preserved report.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
[COUNSEL TO DRAFT AND APPROVE WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, LIABILITY CAP, EXCLUSIONS, AND JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC CARVE-OUTS]. The final language should remain consistent with the personal development purpose described above and should not disclaim rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
11. Indemnity and dispute terms
[COUNSEL TO DETERMINE WHETHER AN INDEMNITY, ARBITRATION CLAUSE, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, OR INFORMAL DISPUTE PROCESS IS APPROPRIATE]. No arbitration or waiver should be added without a deliberate owner decision and jurisdiction-specific review.
12. Termination and surviving provisions
A user may stop using the Service at any time. CCI may terminate or suspend access for a material violation of the final terms, subject to applicable law and any paid-access commitments. Provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, disputes, and obligations that by their nature should survive would continue after termination.
13. Governing law and contact
The final terms would be governed by the laws of [STATE/COUNTRY], with venue in [COUNTY AND STATE], unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Legal notices and questions: [LEGAL CONTACT EMAIL AND MAILING ADDRESS].
